#232 We are a body – Caring for embodied humans 🗓
With Dr Daniel O'Neill
Humans are corporeal creatures made in God’s image, and as such live corporate lives in community. Tertulian wrote, “the flesh is the very condition on which salvation hinges.” Based on the Apostle Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians (15:1-3; 20-58), we will explore the relevance of this letter to today’s post-modern world. We will see how it relates to the care for the human body, the value of the incarnation, the global body of Christ as the hands and feet of Jesus, and the sustainable hope of bodily resurrection.
